Great Big Canvas offers many sweeping cityscapes of Cleveland, Ohio. Imagine the perfect image of this world-class city on one of your showcase walls. You can choose from gallery-wrapped or framed artwork in any size you or your decorator chooses. Cleveland, perched on the shores of Lake Erie, sits nicely appointed on a series of asymmetrical bluffs--cut by the Cuyahoga River--that lie roughly parallel to the lake. The city is a significant manufacturing center and a transportation hub with many canals and rail lines.
In 2005, The Economist ranked it the most livable city in America. Named for General Moses Cleaveland, the letter "a" was dropped so that the name would better-fit on the masthead of newspapers. When the Ohio and Erie Canal was completed in 1832, Cleveland began growing into the primary link between the Ohio River and the Great Lakes. The city is often referred to by its nicknames, the Cleve or the Forest City. It has a myriad of cultural choices, offering museums, parks, and historical attractions-like the popular Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Cleveland Museum of Art, Metroparks Zoo, the Cleveland Botanical Garden, the Great Lakes Science Center, and the Cleveland Museum of Art.
